About me

Hello, I'm Liz!

Thank you for taking time to read about me, and my therapy approach. I earned my Master Degree in Social work with an emphasis in Mental Health in 2018 and am now a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Clients would best describe me as warm, kind, and reflective. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Treatment approaches that I find most beneficial are cognitive-behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, attachment theory, psychodynamic, mindfulness, and family therapy modalities. I find using activities to help clients gain skills in mindfulness are beneficial. This can include creative projects that are thought provoking, sometimes artistic, and most importantly increase awareness of who you are before the world got its hands on you. I will tailor our time together and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs!

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take the step, let's get started in writing a healthy and new chapter in your life.

I look forward to working with you!

It has been wonderful getting to work with her and know her over the past year and half. She has helped me so much. She is more than just a therapist. She is a very good friend.

Elizabeth does a great job of hearing my story and working with me resolve the knots in my thinking. She has helped me to identify the crux of what I’m working through and guide discussion toward resolution. In addition to supportive and actionable conversation, Elizabeth provides exercises to work on outside of our sessions that help to organize my thoughts and guide our discussions. All of my sessions have been positive experiences with no judgment, honest and thoughtful discourse, and useful outcomes. I would highly recommend Elizabeth; she’s great.
